MacBook Pro: Fan Speed

I'm using a 2.5" GHz early '08 MacBook Pro and it's running fine. When I'm on Windows, the temperature increases and reaches around 63 celsius but that's normal as I've been told here. When I am on Macintosh, the temperature is usually around 46 to 51 celsius when running on AC power, and lower when on battery.

Thing is, I have smcFanControl and I set both fans to 2825 rpm. What is the best speed that I should set them to?

It depends. The temperatures you're currently experience are perfectly normal. Depending on which model you have, if you have the 9400M, it should idle around 40 C and with the 9600M GT, 50 C. With SMC fan control, I think people set according to what they're doing and not so much as a primary thing.
